say, pfunkboy, do you by any chance know why last.fm will not scrobble any group radio?

whoah, clues to the identity of the mysterious "ilxor"

i'm currently listening to this station...

http://www.last.fm/listen/group/afrofuturists

...and none of it is turning up on my recently listened to tracks.

!

I don't know. Correct password in your last fm player?
And yes, i just realised i knew who ilxor was after all!

whoah, clues to the identity of the mysterious "ilxor"

Haha, I didn't mean to be secretive about it really. I used to post here as "stephen," changed to a non-identifying screen name mainly for work purposes. Couldn't think of a username, so went with "ilxor" on a whim.

aha, got it...i think.

that top artists chart really is depressing

Your musical compatibility with berrrry is Very Low

Music you have in common includes The Everly Brothers, Bonnie Raitt and Brenda Lee.

Who would have guessed??

that top artists chart really is depressing

Why does it depress you? Fair enough you don't like xx or Lady Gaga or w/e but you know you're not going to get a disparate group of something 700 people connected by a message board about Everything listening to the top 350 metal albums of 2009 all week.

yeah like all i listen to is metal

I didn't say that.

I'm saying you shouldn't expect to see more obscure/esoteric stuff at the top of a chart of 700 people with very little in common. I still don't see why it depresses you, you still get to hear what you like, as does everyone else.

I understand you have a natural revulsion to whatever the latest "hipster" band is on ILM but if a whole bunch of ILMers like The xx enough to keep listening then surely that's fair enough, whether you like them or not.

im not talking about just one band.

ps vote in the metal poll :)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE HERE for ILX METAL ALBUMS OF 2009 !!!!!!!!!!!!! (non-metal thread regulars welcome. Everyones welcome to vote, please join in!) Voting Ends Jan 17.

neither am I, I just used them as an example

ps I still haven't listened to all the metal I downloaded after last year's poll :/

It's more that the ilx charts never change. It's the same top 20 every bloody week.

but sometimes New Order move up or down a place :)

Of the top 25, I only own stuff from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radiohead and Kate Bush, and they haven't been getting a ton of airplay in the McBoing-Boing household lemme tell ya. I've been in a distinct mood for The Church lately.

I know the charts are "depressing" but then I look at them and realize that they are a reflection of commonality, like things lots of people have in their music player, and I would guess the majority of those people listen to music at work, when they just leave the player on "shuffle". The nice thing about last.fm is browsing people and groups and seeing the diversity in individual choices.

yeah i've said it before, but 60 out of 700 members playing maybe one kate bush song a week hardly constitutes a hivemind anyway. i'd consider that to be a pretty damn good sign of variety actually!

My 12 month albums chart.
http://www.last.fm/user/trailofgybe/charts?subtype=albums

I listen to Double Nickels On The Dime about 5 times but due to 40+ tracks on the album it's my most played album. lol

http://www.last.fm/user/johnjusten/charts?subtype=albums

i think this points to overall no matter what - 12 month chart is a lot more uh interesting on mine i guess

yeah if it just links to overall its no great hassle to change it to 12 month

what band is that at no11?

12-month tracks! http://www.last.fm/user/lexpretend/charts?rangetype=year&subtype=tracks

http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/12month/5x6/nstewart.jpeg

I think i listened to the nirvana box set this year for the 1st time in ages and it totally skewed my collage.

http://lastfm.obsessive-media.de/12month/5x6/lexpretend.jpeg

(12mths)

lol i had never noticed how similar the fever ray and the-dream album covers are to each other

is the dream a double cd? Cuz it's in twice.

haha i appear to have it as both "love vs money" and "love vs. money" in my library - listened to the leak for a while and then imported the cd after that, they must have been tagged differently

ahh ok. I noticed sometimes albums scrobble as disc 1 and disc 2 which is why I asked. (thats why the nirvana box is in mine twice)
